Definitions
- Multi-stage aeration apparatus [0001] Multi-stage aeration apparatus
- This relates to an aeration apparatus which has a series of gas injection and reaction zones.
- Aeration systems are used in many different applications, including wastewater treatment.
- the use of aeration towers in series is inefficient and takes up space, it is also difficult to balance backpressure within the system. If a single tower is used and fluid is recirculated through the tank, treated fluid with microbubbles passing through the injector and pump are degraded and larger bubbles are formed. This reduces the efficiency of the system.
- a multi-stage aeration apparatus comprising at least two vertically oriented aeration modules, each aeration module defining a vertically elongated aeration chamber having a top inlet and a bottom outlet, the bottom outlet of each of the aeration modules feeding a fluid stream of liquid and gas into the top inlet of an underlying one of the aeration modules.
- Each aeration module has an aeration head connected to the top inlet such that the fluid stream passing through the top inlet into the aeration chamber must pass through the aeration head, the aeration head aerating the liquid with the gas in the fluid stream.
- the aeration head may depend into the aeration chamber.
- the aeration head may be a vertically depending pipe with a closed lower end and radial openings through which the fluid stream exits the aeration head.
- gas may be supplied to of a first aeration module by a venturi inj ector to create the fluid stream.
- the gas in the fluid stream may be at least partially dissolved or entrained by the liquid.
- the multi-stage aeration apparatus may further comprise supplemental gas inlets in one or more aeration modules.
- the multi-stage aeration apparatus may further comprising an exit valve for controlling back pressure in the aeration modules.
- a method of aerating a liquid comprising the steps of: providing an apparatus comprising at least two vertically oriented aeration modules, each aeration module defining a vertically elongated aeration chamber having a top inlet and a bottom outlet, the bottom outlet and the top inlet of adjacent aeration modules being directly connected, wherein each aeration module has an aeration head connected to the top inlet; and injecting a fluid stream comprising a liquid to be aerated and a gas into the apparatus, the fluid stream passing through the aeration heads of the at least two aeration modules such that the liquid is aerated by the gas.
- the method may further comprise the step of injecting a supplemental gas into at least one aeration module to supplement the gas in the fluid stream.
- the supplemental gas may be different from the gas in the fluid stream.
- the aeration head may depend into the aeration chamber.
- the aeration head may be a vertically depending pipe with a closed lower end and radial openings through which the fluid stream exits the aeration head.
- injecting a fluid stream may comprise using a venturi injector.
- the gas in the fluid stream may be at least partially dissolved or entrained by the liquid.
- the method may further comprise the step of adjusting the back pressure in the apparatus by controlling an exit valve connected to the bottom outlet of the last aeration module.
- liquid passes downwardly through the aeration modules until a desired gas saturation is achieved.
- aeration modules are used as may be required to achieve the desired gas saturation. If there is excess gas, it is carried with the liquid from one module to the next.
- aeration head in the form of a vertically depending pipe with an end cap at a lower remote end and radial openings through which liquid exits the aeration head.
- FIG. 1 is a side elevation view of an aeration tower made from a plurality of aeration modules.
- FIG. 2 is a side elevation view of one of the aeration modules from the aeration tower of FIG. 1.
- FIG. 3 is a bottom plan view of an aeration head from the aeration modules of FIG. 2.
- FIG. 4 is a side elevation view of the aeration tower of FIG. 1.
- a multi-stage aeration apparatus generally identified by reference numeral 10, will now be described with reference to FIG. 1 through 4. Structure and Relationship of Parts:
- multi-stage aeration apparatus 10 includes at least two vertically oriented aeration modules 12.
- Each aeration module 12 defines a vertically elongated aeration chamber 14 having a top inlet 16 and a bottom outlet 18.
- Bottom outlet 18 of each of the aeration modules 12 feeds liquid into top inlet 16 of an underlying one of the aeration modules.
- the first aeration module 12 receives a gas/liquid mixture from a gas and liquid source.
- the gas may be injected using, for example, a pressurized source of gas or a venturi. As shown, there is a source of liquid 34 and a source of gas 36 mixed using a venturi 38.
- the liquid is driven through venturi 38 and fluid line 40 using a pump 42.
- the liquid and gas stream may be referred to as a fluid stream.
- some or all of the gas, and any supplemental gas as will be discussed below, is entrained or dissolved into the liquid.
- fluid stream it is intended to refer to the liquid to be aerated, and the gas that has been used or is intended to aerate the liquid.
- Each aeration module 12 has an aeration head 20 connected to top inlet 16, such that all fluids passing through the top inlet 16 into the aeration chamber 14 must pass through aeration head 20.
- FIG. 3 and 4 An example of an aeration head 20 is shown in FIG. 3 and 4, where there is a vertically depending pipe 22 with a closed lower end 24 that extends into the aeration chamber 14.
- Pipe 22 has radial openings 26, or slots as shown, through which liquid exits aeration head 20.
- Radial openings 26 are preferably angled toward a common point a certain distance out from pipe 22 such that the respective streams impinge upon each other to increase the shearing forces that cause the microbubbles to form.
- the top slot may be angled down at about 30 degrees, the middle slot may be horizontal, and the bottom slot may be angled up at about 30 degrees such that the streams impinge upon each other.
- Other designs of aeration heads 20 may also be used.
- supplemental gas inlets 28 into one or more chambers 14 as shown. These may be used to introduce a supplemental gas, or a different type of gas. Preferably, the gases injected at these points will be only slightly higher than the pressure in the system to avoid creating an imbalance in the system. In one example, when treating production water from an oil well, there may be 20 to 30 modules 12.
- Air or oxygen is introduced into the first set of modules 12 to treat contaminants that are relatively easier to oxidize such as iron, BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzen and xylenes), etc.
- Ozone may then be introduced in later modules 12 to treat remaining contaminants that are more difficult to oxidize, such as heavy metals, remaining hydrocarbons, etc.
- Carbon dioxide may be introduced to adjust the pH of the fluid stream, and nitrogen or other inert gases may be injected at the end to flush out or displace any remaining gases that may be entrained in the liquid such that it may be safely disposed of.
- the number of modules and the types of gases and the order and volume in which they are injected will depend on the type of liquid being treated and the desired composition of the end result.
- modules 12 are attached to each other using flanges 44. Other types of attachments may also be used as will be recognized. Modules 12 may be attached in such a manner that they are held vertically aligned and sealed together such that the fluid stream passes entirely from one module 12 to the next. Referring to FIG. 3 and 4, aeration head 20 may also have a flange 46 that is attached between flanges 44. Other designs to mount aeration head 20 within modules 12 may also be used. Modules 12 may also have a test port 46 for removing a sample from modules for testing purposes.
- apparatus 10 has a single pass design with aeration modules 12 that can be added sequentially with little additional space requirements. Referring to FIG. 1, fluid flow occurs in a top down approach. Aeration heads 20 are positioned at the inlet of the aeration modules 12 and provide an efficient transfer of gas and liquid to each aeration chamber 14. Additional gas may be added to an aeration chamber 14, such as at the first end of each aeration module 12, by way of supplemental gas inlets 28.
- aeration chambers 14 of aeration modules 12 are in sequential sections of apparatus 10. Back pressure is balanced using a valve 32 connected at the outlet 18 of the final aeration module 12 to ensure the most efficient gas transfer into the liquid to be aerated. The amount of back pressure is balanced between creating a more stable aerated liquid and reducing the aeration potential of the system.
- aeration chambers 14 include gas, and sufficient gas that a mixture of liquid gas passes through the next aeration module 12.
- aeration chambers 14 are preferably filled primarily with gas, such that both gas and liquids flow out through the attached aeration head 20 into the next module.
- the amount of gas and liquid passing through each aeration head 20 may be controlled by controlling the back pressure in the system and the pressure of the supplemental gas being injected through supplemental gas inlets 28.
- the final module 12 is permitted to at least partially fill with liquid, and such that primarily liquid is removed from the system.
- additional modules 12 may be used to simply stabilize the microbubbles of the liquid mixture and achieve a supersaturated state.
- the pressure drop across the system is preferably kept to a minimal level to make the gas transfer more effective.
- the pressure drop in the system must be minimal, therefore minimal elbows and direction changes must be used.
- sequential aeration towers have approximately a 3 psi drop across each aeration tower
- the single line apparatus 10 described herein preferably has approximately a 1 psi drop across each aeration chamber.
- the use of a venturi injector caused a drop in the suction efficiency.
- the present apparatus may be designed with minimal suction losses with the addition of each additional aeration chamber.
- the back pressure in an aeration system must be balanced to accommodate the conditions across each section.
- a single aeration tower is efficient enough to dissolve all of the gas that a venturi injector can inject.
- other gas injection points may be added.
- the combination of venturi injection at the beginning followed by gas injection in sequential aeration chambers allows for extremely high gas concentrations, stronger reaction zones and the ability to change gases to cause complex reactions. This removes the necessity for tanks for additional gas injection or secondary gas injection, decreasing footprint and capital costs substantially.
- liquid passes downwardly through the aeration modules to achieve a desired gas saturation.
- aeration modules are used as may be required to achieve the desired gas saturation.
- Excess gas in one module is carried with the liquid from one module to the next.
- the aeration modules cause a water/gas mixture to be sheared, cutting bubbles into smaller sizes.
- the increased energy helps reactions to occur.
- the multistage diffusion system may provide for several advantages over prior diffusion systems, such as:
- Aeration modules can be stacked to form an aeration tower with an increased number of reaction zones without the requirement for additional power input
